Insights Into the Role of CircRNAs: Biogenesis, Characterization, Functional, and Clinical Impact in Human Malignancies حسب Nisar, Sabah

"…Compared to the linear RNA, circRNAs are produced differentially by backsplicing exons or lariat introns from a pre-messenger RNA (mRNA) forming a covalently closed loop structure missing 3′ poly-(A) tail or 5′ cap, rendering them immune to exonuclease-mediated degradation. …"

Effect of surfactant and electron treatment on the electrical and thermal conductivity as well as thermal and mechanical properties of ehylene vinyl acetate/expanded graphite compo... حسب Sefadi, Jeremia Shale

"…The thermal conductivity linearly increased with EG content, and this increase was more pronounced in the case of SDS-EG, but decreased after EB irradiation. The thermal properties were little influenced by EB irradiation, while better polymer–filler interaction and better filler dispersion as a result of SDS treatment, and the EB irradiation initiated formation of a cross-linked network, had a positive effect on the tensile properties.…"
